Mahashivratri is one of the largest and most significant among the sacred festival nights of India. This – the darkest night of the year – celebrates the Grace of Shiva, who is considered the Adi Guru or the First Guru, from whom the yogic tradition originates. The planetary positions on this night are such that there is a powerful natural upsurge of energy in the human system. It is enormously beneficial for one’s physical and spiritual wellbeing to stay awake and aware in a vertical position throughout the night.

Rudraksh Prasadam

Devotees who are at the Isha Yoga Center on Mahashivratri will receive a rudraksh bead as prasadam. This bead is one of one lakh and eight such rudraksh beads that have adorned Adiyogi over the last a year.

Adiyogi Pradakshina

Pradakshina is the process of circumambulating a powerful energy source to imbibe its energy. Through Adiyogi Pradakshina one can become receptive to the Grace of Adiyogi, which can fuel one’s striving towards ultimate liberation.

Bhairavi Maha Yatra

On Mahashivratri, the Linga Bhairavi Utsav Murti will journey from Linga Bhairavi’s abode to the Adiyogi in a grand procession. You have the unique opportunity to be part of this vibrant Maha Yatra for the very first time. Bask in the glory, ecstasy and Grace of Devi.
